Girls Night Out


What the phrase “Girls Night Out” means to me:

  • A show of independence (“we don’t need men”) but clearly having dependence of the other members in the group of girls.
  • Seeking attention from guy strangers (to increase self-esteem) and girls (to make jealous).
  • Borderline bi-sexuality.
  • Peer pressure.
  • Having “fun” with friends of the same gender.
  • A clear double-standard. Wives generally don’t tolerate husbands hanging out at bars until 3:00Am, now do they? Husbands are generally more tolerant for a couple of reasons: 1) He has no choice and 2) “Away time”. Anyway, we live in a progressive society where spouses don’t “give permission” anyway.
  • For a guy to even assert any resistance is just as offensive as looking through your girlfriend’s pocketbook or Myspace e-mail account.
  • Not having any guys tagging along with the girls is supposed to make it non-threatening and “innocent” for boyfriends and husbands who may be worried. However, by banning guys from hanging out, it is sexist.
  • Long before Desperate Housewives, women and girls have always used a Girls Night Out to show their female unity and empowerment…which of course is shown by simply ACTING SILLY in public.
  • Of course, to a girl, all they see it as is “having fun”, why should they stay home?


The demographics for my blog is 70% women vs 29% men and 1% other. So I don’t want to offend my fanbase. I’m just taking a swipe at an accepted social institution, okay? As long as you act responsibly, there’s nothing wrong with a Girl’s Night Out (GNO).

I just want to offer women a word of advice:

1) Single guys at bars and clubs love GNO’s; a man sees you like an antelope herd, and the man is a lion. The predator analyzes the situation and targets the weakest one. So be careful.


and

2) Everything you do will be digitally photographed and uploaded on MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, or craigslist the next day. In other words, the entire world can see you posing. The entire world includes your family and co-workers, not to mention your stalkers and other perverts out there. So don’t do anything embarrassing.

3) Perhaps the thing that frustrates me is that girls know about #1 and #2, but enjoy doing it anyway. In fact, it’s like being photographed and looked at is their main goal anyway.

That’s kinda why I just will never get he female mind.

I’m an old fashioned guy, and I approve this message.

    and they also seem to go out to the club where guys go to drink and meet women during these” girls night outs” where they dance with each other and appear to be “single” and looking for somebody.
    I cant tell you the amount of married women Ive met in clubs who are out drinking, telling me that they find me attractive, but sucpiciously are out having a good time without their husband.

    I gotta tell you,
    it doesnt look right to me either.
    and personally I dont get the point of it.

    what this has to do with John McCain,I have no idea.

    Well, er, R,R,R,AW, I-uh, I er, I believe in, uhm, how do you call it, er, family values, see? And it’s just not popular for, er, a, uhm, red-blooded male to say that he doesn’t, er, believe in GNO’s. It’s, er, political suicide in the, uhm, how do you say- blogosphere.
    I think, ahh, Damien equates me with being old fashioned and what not, so, ah, he used my picture.

    I’m John McCane and I approve this message.

    Thanks, R.A.W…I’m glad you shared your experience to add to the evidence.

    I believe women should take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror when it comes to their motivations for going on GNO’s.

    Guys are transparent- they will not deny why they go to clubs- it’s either to chill and get buzzed, meet new people (preferable women), and get laid.

    Women who have boyfriends, dating, or are married just LOVE to act single.

    Screw you John.
    Im running for president too, and I think America has had enough of your bull and is finally ready to vote for the real voice of change…

    and that’s me.

    A woman’s place is in the family home. Why should she need to venture out of its safety and security?
    It a man’s job to make sure she stays home also. Its perfectly acceptable to issue the standard “one-swipe-backhand slap” to your spouse in order to “lay down the law.” Generally this should be done at least once a month. Just like maintaining your car. Like my father and his father said to him, “A swipe cross the face keeps a woman in her place.”
    Just like when they look at you with hostility while you’re having sex or taking whats yours. You have to show them who the man is.
    If she wants to go out with her friends, just “explain” to her the error of her thinking. And “correct” her, backhand if neccessary”, if needed. Or hell, backhand her anyway for just thinking of going out.
    Then, take away her car keys and hide her driver’s license and credit cards.
    That’ll keep the bitch at home. And if that doesn’t work, well, you’ve obviously failed as a husband. Let me utter the famous words of master musician Jimi Hendrix in Hey Joe.
    Hey Joe, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand
    Hey Joe, I said where you goin’ with that gun in your hand

    I’m going down to shoot my old lady
    You know, I’ve caught her messin’ around with another man
    I’m going down to shoot my old lady
    You know, I’ve caught her messin’ around with another man
    And that ain’t too cool

    Hey Joe, I’ve heard you shot your woman down,
    Shot her down, now
    I said I’ve heard you shot your old lady down,
    You shot her down to the ground

    Yes I did, I shot her
    You know, I caught her messin’ round, messin’ round town
    Yes I did, I shot her
    You know, I caught my old lady messin’ around town
    And I gave her the gun
    I SHOT HER!

    Hey Joe, alright
    Shoot her one more time, baby.

    I can only add that my wife an i ahve a two year old and a four year old. I understand the stree of being home with the kids all day. I see the need to get out, but to a bar? It all boils down to respect. i would not ever go to a bar until 3A.M. simply because I respect my wife. Even if it is innocent not everyone there is. It just isn’t wise to palce yourself in the situation and frankly its a bit immature. My thought is that you become active with your mate to find a baby sitter adn go have fun otherwise you will grow apart and you will eventually find grief in the bar scene.
